How to Replace the Cylinder Head Gasket on the Citroën C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Cylinder head

To replace the cylinder head gasket on the Citroën C3, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay. You will need to detach the plastic cover from the top of the engine block to access the valve cover underneath. This can be removed by loosening the bolts, allowing you to take out the camshaft along with the corresponding pulley and subsequently the underlying cylinder head. This will enable you to detach the old gasket, install the new one, and reassemble all previously removed parts.
